Chapter 276
Lucy was reluctant to leave because Rose asked her to. This was Zayne’s carriage, not Rose’s. Rose didn’t own anything to be acting like this. Lucy didn’t care what anyone had to say as Rose would always be the girl from the brothel leeching off of Zayne’s name.
Lucy was certain there would come a time when Zayne would wake up and see that he had used all this time.
"Lucy," Catherine spoke up since Lucy refused to move. "She has told you to leave. It was my mistake to invite you into the carriage. Being one of the soldiers Zayne trusted and took with him, I thought you would have known Rose. I have much to apologise for."
Catherine had never seen Lucy act like this before which made her think Lucy was too convinced she would be the one to marry Zayne.
"She’s a woman from a brothel-"
"Rose is the daughter of a lord and now the wife of your prince. Your departure made you miss Rose reunite with her family who holds a noble title. So, you must stop thinking of her as just a simple woman. Speaking so carelessly on her name might have you end up in a dungeon which I would hate to see," said Catherine.
While Catherine liked Lucy it wasn’t more than she liked Rose and family came before anyone.
"There are rules when dealing with royals," Catherine reminded the young woman. "Your problem is you see yourself as part of the royal family since you were so convinced that you would wed Zayne. You are not a Hamilton therefore you do not get to speak as you like toward us."
Rose didn’t try to ask Lucy to leave again as she was occupied with watching Catherine speak for her and their family.
